Step aside, Barbie. There's a whole new kind of female action figure about to hit the market, and she's funny too.

An American toy company is making action figurines of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in their Saturday Night Live 'Weekend Update' news anchor mode.
Toymakers Entertainment Earth will release the limited edition figurines of the first ladies of comedy in time for the San-Diego Comic-Con in July. If social media reaction is anything to go by, they will sell out quickly.
The 2,400 pint-sized figurines are just three inches tall and come with their very own fold-out cardboard 'Weekend Update' news desk and identical suits.
The 'Weekend Update' sketch is the longest running in SNL history and has featured comedic greats like Chevy Chase, Bill Murray and Jimmy Fallon as satirical news anchors.
The figurines don't go on sale until Comic-Con in July, but die-hard SNL fans can secure their own mini Poehler and Fey for $29.99 by pre-ordering them now.
One woman on Twitter said that whoever brought her the dolls could have her hand in marriage.
A mother said she'd give her daughter the Fey and Poehler action figurines before a Barbie.
